I checked Dissolved Oxygen today using a Monitor DO kit about 9:00 AM it was 8 PPM

What else do I need to do?

Fish feeding has slowed down tremendously. Seeing very few smaller fish eating but CC still cleaning everything up.

The pic from one month ago shows (to me) a whole bunch of abandoned bluegill beds. Typically when water temp is above 72°F, and the moon is going into the first quarter, the bluegill feeding activity will diminish as the males start concentrating on making beds in preparation for spawning. I bet that you will see Bluegill feeding activity resume around the 20th-23rd.
